Almost to Minnesota!

As I write this little missive we are parked at an Iowa roadside rest. This wonderful state has free wifi that will reach our HOW (home on wheels) so we can finally get caught up on our email, banking ,etc.

Our itinerary for the next few weeks-or months- is a bit up in the air right now. My daughter in LA ( the state, not the city) is going to have a treatment for thyroid cancer that will keep her from needing a night light for a week or so ( as in she will glow in the dark) so I am going to head there to help out with the kids for a while.

Rick will be following me down there in a week or so with the HOW (home on wheels). He has some business stuff to finish up in MN and will make a trip to Salol to check out the house and see the family up there. Janet's treatment starts on Tuesday so I need to get there as soon as I can. I'm sure she won't be feeling very good for a bit and can use the extra pair of hands, especially since she isn't to be handling food prep for a week or so. I guess no one else needs to glow in the dark either!

While in LA, grandson Tommy will turn nine and we are looking forward to celebrating this last birthday of the single digits with him. Am I really old enough to have a grandchild who is NINE? Must be!

After the birthday celebration we plan on heading to GA to watch two more of the grands while their parents deal with finals week at college. This family is heading back to MN and we will be hauling some of their stuff back with us.

I am hoping that for most of the summer we will be in MN enjoying family and friends and working our tails off emptying out two houses, painting the garage, mowing the lawn, having huge, did I say HUGE, garage sales and finishing off some other projects.

So, what are your plans for the summer? Exciting I hope!
